FutureA
The Jets answered their biggest question with Sayin. Grade: C+. When the story of this class is written, it opens with Keyjuan Brown at Round 6, Pick 27, a reach of 87 spots that the board flatly disagrees with.
Everything downstream of Julian Sayin depends on Julian Sayin, and the building knows it. Getting Stone where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class.
Overpaying at the table undid a lot of the good work elsewhere. The Sayin pick reads as want over need, and the roster will feel it at edge rusher.
They punted on edge rusher, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.
So much rides on Julian Sayin that the real verdict is a season or two away.
Pick Analysis
Pick2
Rnd1
Julian Sayin
Of all the spots to shop, they chose quarterback. Julian Sayin in No. 2 leaves edge rusher for later.
Pick16
Rnd1
KJ Bolden
A want over a need in pick No. 16: KJ Bolden adds a safety while edge rusher keeps waiting.
Pick44
Rnd2
David Stone
David Stone in the 44th overall pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick106
Rnd4
Luke Montgomery
Somehow Luke Montgomery was still sitting there in the 106th pick, and they pounced on premier offensive lineman value. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick113
Rnd4
Devin McCuin
Devin McCuin at Round 4, Pick 13 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick175
Rnd5
Dezz Ricks
They took Dezz Ricks at par in the Round 5 slot, which is nothing to complain about. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick178
Rnd5
Jayden Virgin-Morgan
Nice patience on Jayden Virgin-Morgan, who had no business lasting to the 178th overall pick. A pick in search of a role on this roster.
Pick192
Rnd6
Coen Echols
They will replay Coen Echols at Round 6, Pick 13 for years; that is how good the value is. The roster fit checks out.
Pick206
Rnd6
Keyjuan Brown
Keyjuan Brown at the Round 6 slot is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick210
Rnd6
Noah Fifita
A premium they did not need to pay, Noah Fifita a notch or two before his time. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick218
Rnd7
Jackson Bennee
Taking Jackson Bennee in the 218th pick is close to grand larceny; a safety that good had no business lasting this long. Hard to map this one onto the depth chart at all.
Pick230
Rnd7
Sammy Omosigho
A quiet steal in No. 230: Sammy Omosigho for less than the market said. The roster logic is harder to follow.
Pick242
Rnd7
Jay'Vion Cole
Jay'Vion Cole slipping to pick No. 242 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
